A large crowd walks a village road in a festival procession, many men in white shirts and dhotis, some women in saris, and some in colourful clothes. A white sedan car moves slowly through the crowd. A red and purple banner with a stylised emblem and text is carried on poles at left. Several ornate multicoloured umbrellas with fringed edges and small banners rise above the crowd on the right. Strings of festive pennants stretch across the road, and a whitewashed building and palm fronds frame the scene. Some people carry brass pots and drums are visible. No individual can be clearly identified as the central figure.
